The most frightening part is that many (even today) believe that the Holocaust never happened. The German people and the Jews were deceived and misled by corrupt leaders. The results were catastrophic and needless.

The impact of corrupt governments and their immoral, unethical policies can have even more severe and catastrophic results on human life globally. While the Holocaust is very personal to many people, corruption in world governments will have even more devastating effects when you factor in poverty, hunger, perpetuation of corruption and moral/ethical decay.

The comparison is very relevant. Short-sightedness and complacency will result in even more unimaginable events down the road.

Please don't turn a blind eye to my post. It may be shocking, but it's in line with history. If we forget to view current events through the historical lense, then we'll find ourselves in the same predicament over and over again.

I am not of the belief that we, as a race, are destined to mediocrity or worse, but if we aspire to greater things, we cannot fail or refuse to see the comparison between the past and the present.
